Thank you for posting this, and I agree with your final paragraph wholeheartedly.

MythicQuest and Ted Lasso, also available from AppleTV, are also fantastic. I’ve also heard good things about For All Mankind, although it’s not my style.

Just to clarify, I 100% agree that racism might sometimes present as a symptom of other mental illnesses. But I think there are plenty of totally sane racists out there, just like there are plenty of mentally ill egalitarians; either one could be violent, I suppose. For that reason, I don’t think it would really be…

Sorry if this was in the article somewhere and I missed it, but:

I don’t think racism or violent racist acts are mental illnesses, if that is what you are proposing here (if you are not, my apologies).

This just totally nails it, especially the idea that they really have no goals besides being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. 

Ah, I forgot about this (was thinking the taco bowl picture from 2016). It’s nice that Ivanka, once in those 4 years, found something she was good at.

Pfft, that’d be a trick, since everyone knows Megyn Kelly doesn’t have a heart.

Yes, that’s it. It is worth a watch, for sure, just because of how insidiously it poses as a “science documentary.” IIRC, it was actually shown on the Discovery or History channel at the time, with a disclaimer (AT THE END OF THE MOVIE) that it was partly dramatized/fictionalized. Not surprisingly, being on a major…

I assume her knowledge of history - all history - comes exclusively from youtube and 50s movies. I’d expect her to be like that person pestering you to watch that “mermaid documentary” 8-9 years ago. “The government doesn’t want you to know!!”

I’m surprised she didn’t just tweet a picture of herself eating a deli sandwich and a bowl of matzo ball soup.

I’m starting to think people who get involved in reality shows might not be trustworthy.

Ohio does not charge property tax on vehicles.

It’s mind blowing. 

Yup. You can call him a terrible human being. But he is also an all time great boxer. Boring, yes. But show me someone else so good at assessing an opponent and, on the fly, adjusting to and defending against everything. It’s the same with GSP back in his UFC glory days. Booooooring fights, because they are so good at…

Ironically, now he’ll get to find out what it’s like to pee into a bottle.

I did Google it, which presented numerous conflicting results, hence the question.

I thought Nike had gotten a lot better at making sure their products weren’t made in sweatshops? Or is this one of those situations where they don’t technically use sweatshop labor, but they adhere to the lowest possible legal standards of wherever the factory is located?

Yah, although I get the impression that what she was mostly upset about is a) that they were supposed to be sold and the money given to charity; and b) the family didn’t get a pair. I think that’s a fair thing to be upset about.

sneakerheads are crrrrrrazy. the rarer a sneaker is, the crazier they get.
